Best Shoes Ever


So I bought a pair of shoes I never ever thought I would- FitFlop mukluks. I think Uggs are ugly (even though I have them), so the idea of fake Uggs normally sends shivers down my heart. Or wherever shivers go. Also, I kind of think the idea of FitFlops, Reebok EasyTone etc. is bullshit. I don't really understand what wobble boards are and how they fit in shoe soles and how they magically make butts look perfect. But I'm not buying it.

However. On a freezing, rainy, miserable London afternoon my Mother insisted on buying me some warm boots so I wouldn't catch pneumonia. And I keep seeing FitFlops everywhere here, and they're supposed to have good arch support and improve your posture yada yada. So I bought the chocolate ones. And OMG THEY ARE COMFORTABLE. Like so much more comfortable than Uggs because they somehow rock a bit and actually do make you stand up straight. And I totally feel supported and when you walk up escalators you can actually feel the muscles in your thighs/butt work, but in a good way. So who knows what hocus pocus these guys are working, but I highly recommend them.

My hood


Sometimes we hang out here.

I don't hang out here.

Y'all know I spend too much time here.

This is my dorm. Jack the Ripper killed someone here (typs) so there are tour groups outside all the damn time.
Cute couple, no?
Does photographing graffiti make me artsy? Meta??


My walk to the Tube. Artillery Lane.
